CSIR-NEERI Project Associate-I Recruitment 2026: Up to 2 Vacancies

This role is ideal for highly motivated individuals holding an M.Sc. in Chemistry, particularly those interested in environmental research, air quality sampling, and field work. Candidates who have qualified national level examinations like CSIR-UGC NET, ICAR NET, ICMR NET, GATE, or equivalent government examinations will be offered higher emoluments, making it particularly attractive for them. The position is well-suited for those seeking valuable temporary project experience within a prestigious research institution.

Candidates seeking permanent government employment or long-term job security should note that this is a purely temporary, project-based position, co-terminus with the project's duration. Individuals with 'result awaited' or 'final semester appeared' status for their essential qualification are not eligible. Those who prefer not to engage in field work or extensive data collection for environmental projects may also find this role less suitable.

CSIR-NEERI, as a part of the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR), is a highly respected national research institute under the Government of India. While this specific role is temporary, working at CSIR-NEERI offers significant prestige and the opportunity to gain valuable experience in critical environmental research, enhancing future career prospects in both public and private sector research or environmental agencies.
